Interface Your Voice Paging System with Virtually Any Telecom or IP Phone System
Vikings FXI-1 universal paging interface allows you to provide paging from virtually any type of phone system instead of from a microphone. You can also provide background music and electronic night bell over the audio system. The FXI-1 provides 26V talk battery for interfacing with an FXO or unused analog line input/trunk port. With the flip of a switch, the unit can connect to a FXS or PABX station ring trip port. No power supply is required in this mode. In the event that it must be connected to a dry 600 ohm paging port, the built-in voice activation (VOX) is in control. This configuration is useful when interfacing with systems that do not provide a paging contact closure, such as Panasonic, South Western Bell, Intertel, etc. In all modes the FXI-1 provides normally open or normally closed relay contacts to activate the central paging amplifier equipment or connect to an external background music source. After paging, the FXI-1 auto disconnects on CPC, busy signal, silence or default disconnect timer. An electronic night bell over paging feature can be activated from a momentary phone system contact closure (FXO and page port mode only).

Features

RETURNING PRODUCT FOR REPAIR

The following procedure is for equipment that needs repair: 1. Customer must contact Viking's Technical Support Department at 715-386-8666 to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number. The customer MUST have a complete description of the problem, with all pertinent information regarding the defect, such as options set, conditions, symptoms, methods to duplicate problem, frequency of failure, etc. 2. Packing: Return equipment in original box or in proper packing so that damage will not occur while in transit. Static sensitive equipment such as a circuit board should be in an anti-static bag, sandwiched between foam and individually boxed. All equipment should be wrapped to avoid packing material lodging in or sticking to the equipment. Include ALL parts of the equipment. C.O.D. or freight collect shipments cannot be accepted. Ship cartons prepaid to: Viking Electronics, 1531 Industrial Street, Hudson, WI 54016 3. Return shipping address: Be sure to include your return shipping address inside the box.

FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN's, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label. The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this FXI-1 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer. If the FXI-1 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with the FXI-1, for repair or warranty information, please contact: Viking Electronics, Inc., 1531 Industrial Street, Hudson, WI 54016 (715) 386-8666 If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to State Tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND (OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS: Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings. It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid damaging the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Installation
!
IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.

B. Talk Battery Switch (FXO vs. FXS)

1. FXO
An FXO port is an analog input RJ11 port just like a POTS trunk input on a PABX or key system. An FXO port receives talk battery and ring voltage. In the FXO mode, the FXI-1 provides 26V talk battery to connect to an FXO port or plain analog phone.

2. FXS
An FXS port is an analog output RJ11 port just like a station port on a phone system or PABX extension. It provides talk battery, dial tone and ring voltage. In the FXS mode, the FXI-1 is triggered by ring voltage to seize the line, it is then powered by the talk battery being provided.

Operation
A. FXS (Ring Trip) Mode
In this mode, the unit is powered by the ringing line and answers after 1 second, activates the relay contacts and provides a prepage beep if enabled (S1-4 on). If more than 2.5 seconds of silence, a busy tone (default timer >16 seconds), or a CPC are detected, or the default timer expires, the unit releases the relay and drops the line.

B. FXO (Loop Start) Mode

In this mode, the unit waits until loop is detected, then activates the relay contacts and provides a pre-page beep if enabled (S1-4 on). If more than 2.5 seconds of silence or a busy tone (default timer > 16 seconds) is detected, or the default timer expires, the unit releases the relay and provides a 2 second CPC.

C. VOX (Page Port) Mode

In this mode, the unit waits until audio is detected, then activates the relay contacts. If more than 2.5 seconds of silence or a busy tone (default timer > 16 seconds) is detected, or the default timer expires, the unit releases the relay. There is no pre-page beep in this mode.

D. Night Bell Over Page

If the unit is installed in FXO or VOX mode and not currently paging or providing a CPC, a momentary closure on the Night Bell input for 50mS or more will trigger a 1 second pause followed by relay activation, a 1.5 second warble tone, and relay release. A continuous closure on the night bell input causes the 1 second pause, 1.5 second warble tone cycle to repeat until the closure is removed.

Tr o u b l e s h o o t i n g
Some VoIP products provide a low power ring signal designed for electronic phones that adaptor-powered equipment can detect easily, but line-powered equipment has trouble using to activate a relay. In this case it is recommended to use FXO (Loop Start) mode if possible by changing to an unused trunk input, otherwise connect the equipment as shown in the special FXS Power Assist (Ring Trip) Mode. In this installation, a short page may be heard when the unit is powered on, but will then function as normal.
